A new #AIRC report by Daniel Selva and Theodora Chaspari of Texas A&M University and Dr. Alejandro Salado of the University of Arizona discusses cognitive assistants for training #acquisition personnel in the #DoD. From the executive summary: "Results from the lab experiment showed that students who used the cognitive assistant scored six points higher in the test than students without access to the assistant, suggesting that this technology is promising to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of workforce training."

#AIRC panelist Matthew Rose is one of the keynote speakers for the SERC's fifth annual #AI4SE & #SE4AI workshop.
The fifth #AI4SE & #SE4AI workshop is underway! This two-day event #SERC and the U.S. Army DEVCOM Armaments Center are hosting at George Mason University will feature 40 technical presentations, two panels, and keynotes from George Mason Professor Missy Cummings, Daniel Mahanty of the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence, and Matthew Rose of Snowflake and The Acquisition Innovation Research Center (AIRC). Depicted here is emcee and SERC Chief Scientist Zoe Szajnfarber of The George Washington University. "It's incredible that we started five years ago as a 20-30 person Zoom call, kind of on a whim, and next year we're looking at a venue to fit more than 250 people." The audience this year is diverse: academia 33%, FFRDC 9%, government 28%, and industry 30%. See the agenda on the event page at https://lnkd.in/eSY2zyz2, and stay tuned for the presentation slides to be uploaded. There will also be a technical report this fall.

Click the link below to read and watch insights from #AIRC and Defense Acquisition University on #megaprojects!
The Acquisition Innovation Research Center (AIRC) and DAU are dedicated to improving the DoD’s approach to managing megaprojects. Their latest research focuses on leveraging AI and machine learning to enhance oversight and decision-making. The FLRAA program, which aims to advance the Army’s vertical lift capabilities, is a prime example of this approach, utilizing open systems architecture and effective stakeholder management practices. This project is poised to shape the future of defense technology.
